Meter every workload
Attribute tokens, calls, retries and provider spend to the team, feature and task creating them.
OutputA cost baseline your finance and engineering teams can reconcile.AI cost optimization
We attribute inference spend to the features creating it, test cheaper paths against your own quality bar, and report the result on the same production traffic. No borrowed percentage and no savings promise before the meter exists.
The cost loop
Cost optimization is an engineering loop, not a model-price spreadsheet. Each change has to preserve the task quality the business depends on.
Attribute tokens, calls, retries and provider spend to the team, feature and task creating them.
OutputA cost baseline your finance and engineering teams can reconcile.Test model tiering, routing, caching, prompt reduction and batching where the traffic supports them.
OutputOne production change released behind an evaluation threshold.Compare cost, latency and task quality on the same traffic rather than projecting savings from a benchmark.
OutputA reproducible before-and-after and a ranked optimization backlog.What you receive
The audit creates the instrumentation and evidence needed to decide whether further optimization work is worth funding.
Provider, model, feature, team, token volume, retry rate and effective cost per completed task.
Real customer cases that define the quality a cheaper route must hold before it can ship.
Each opportunity ranked by measured cost, expected effort, risk and the evidence required to release it.
Observed production cost and quality after the change, with assumptions and exclusions written down.
Straight answers
AI cost optimization attributes provider and infrastructure spend to individual workloads, then tests changes such as model routing, caching, prompt reduction and batching against a defined quality threshold.
Sometimes. Zylen builds an evaluation set from your own cases and records the current quality level first. A cheaper route ships only when it meets the agreed threshold; requests that do not pass stay on the existing path.
We need provider billing and usage data, application telemetry or repository access for the selected workload, and a product or engineering owner who can define acceptable output quality. Missing instrumentation can be added during the audit.
Ten days. One workload changed. Same quality bar.
Bring the provider bill and access to the teams shipping AI. We will map the spend, select one defensible change and measure it in production.
